Who says magazine covers can’t be interactive? I’m having a lot of fun with the latest issue of Los Gatos magazine, which hit the town’s mailboxes a couple of weeks back and celebrates 150 years of the town’s schools.

The cover features 10 photos of Los Gatos luminaries from back in their high school days, and it’s up to readers to figure out who’s who.

Duffy Jennings, the former San Francisco Chronicle reporter and current PR guy who launched the magazine with fellow Los Gatos resident Terry Wild in April, tells me I should know them all, but I’m only sure on about half. I’ll keep trying, and if you want to have a go at it, you can check it out at www.losgatosmagazine.com.

SERVING UP DONATIONS: Quite a crowd packed the Silicon Valley Capital Club on Tuesday night for its “Celebrity Chef” event to raise money for a most worthy cause: Martha’s Kitchen in San Jose. Chefs from Restaurant James Randall, Nemea Greek Taverna and Paesano Ristorante Italiano made some highly tasty dishes out of ingredients in their mystery baskets — turkey, peas and carrots, eggs and a couple other staples from the Martha’s Kitchen pantry.

As they nibbled on the results, guests voted with their donations and crowned Paesano owner/chef Pino Spatola “Silicon Valley Capital Chef” for his turkey meatballs and frittata. Fortunately for Martha’s Kitchen, everyone voted both early and often — the fundraiser brought in more than $7,200.

ROTARY AND ROCKY HORROR: The passing of the torch between Rotary Club presidents is always entertaining. On Tuesday night, the Campbell Rotary Club — which also serves Willow Glen and West San Jose — said farewell to outgoing president Marv Bamburg with a theatrical “court martial” setting at City Lights Theater in downtown San Jose.

It was an appropriate venue, as Bamburg is trading in one presidency for another. On Sunday, he’ll become president of City Lights’ board of directors.

Speaking of City Lights, the company had a fantastic 30th anniversary season, and Executive Artistic Director Lisa Mallette tells me they’re on track to finish in the black for the 10th consecutive year.

No doubt some of that’s due to the current hit production of “The Rocky Horror Show,” which was extended through Aug. 31. Appropriately, it’s finishing with a midnight show on Saturday that will include a costume contest, boas, fishnets and a few other surprises. Get tickets at www.cltc.org.

Violent police encounters in California last year led to the deaths of 157 people and six officers, the state attorney general’s office said Thursday in a report that provides the first statewide tally on police use-of-force incidents.

At 6:03 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to reports of the robbery at the facility, 2301 Bancroft way, and learned that a man who snuck into the facility and began prowling through the building, taking cell phones and wallets from victims.

Investigators’ efforts to solve the case led to the arrests of Pablo Mendoza, 25, of Hayward, Brandon Follings, 26, of Oakland and Valeria Boden, 26, of Alameda, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
